Trickett's Cross Barrow

Round Barrow(s) in Dorset

Just about as ill-fated as a barrow can be. It lies just 100ft from a gateway to a common of gorse and scrub ( and further, a dumping ground of garden refuse ), beside a sprawling housing estate. As can be seen, the foot path leads directly across the barrow. With some imagination, a ditch can be discerned along its west to northern circumference.

Otherwise, it sits on a low rise of sandy heath above the Moors River flood plain, a part of a scattered number of barrows on private property at SZ097997, SZ097995 and SZ105995, as well as those towards Dusbury Hill, Ralph's Barrow and Mag's barrow.
